We still have a few spaces available for this years Run N Gun Nationals and we want to share the event with anyone that has thought about coming in the past but uncertain about putting their car on the track. First you will have the opportunity to have a professional driver (not me) in the car with you. His name is Don Barnes from the Texas Motor Speedway and he teaches students and professionals every day. His charge for a class is usually $2-3000.00 and this is FREE for all participants. Next regardless of what class you choose to run in (PRO -PREPARED-STREET) you will be grouped with others that are running similar times. We found that there are some extremely fast cars running in all classes and they tend to make some of the newer drivers or slower cars uncomfortable so after your first half day on Thursday you will be grouped according to your times. We hope to keep each group within 7 or 8 seconds of each other so everyone has fun and feels competitive.
Next you will have the opportunity to sit in on several seminars that will address common building issues that arise during a build, brake selections, engine choices, handling issues and choices and the various products that you need and don't need. As a spectator you can take test rides by one of about 15 or so manufacturers to help you better make a decision about your dream ride.
Last you can hang in the pits and gain valuable information from the other drivers and crews about their cars. How's and why's of their construction. Plus, there is always a social time at the end of the day and you're invited to pull up a chair and get acquainted with the days stories (some folks call them lies or at least exagerations). Everyone is welcome to the banquet on Friday night and as a participant you will receive two tickets to the excellent dinner that will be served. If you are a spectator you are welcome to join us for dinner as well but you will need to purchase a ticket at registration and the cost is $25.00 (did I mention is was an excellent prime rib dinner and all you can eat?).
Please go to our website for further information or contact Dean Lampe or myself (Clois Harlan) at the telephone numbers listed. Don't wish you had came when you're looking at all the pictures in the magazines and photo galleries in November!
